<p>We're probably exempt from the May 2012 EU Privacy and Communications

<p>An example cookie used by this site:</p>
<table style="margin-left: 15px">
<tr>
<td>Name</td><td>CGISESSID</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Value</td><td>f0bde6b99babec037175636ba3ce6238</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Host</td><td>nww.hmds.leedsth.nhs.uk</td>

<tr>
<td>Expires</td><td>Wed, 23 May 2012 12:12:43 GMT</td>

<p>In this example, CGISESSID is the name of the cookie, the unique session ID is
f0bde6b99babec037175636ba3ce6238 (generated by a randomisation algorithm at first
login), it is valid for the web address nww.hmds.leedsth.nhs.uk only, and
automatically expires at the time specified. The 'secure' setting refers to
whether the cookie data is transmitted in encrypted format (unnecessary for this
purpose). No other information is transmitted between client browser and the
HILIS application server in this cookie.
